ElleGirl- So many things have been going on lately in between all the Fashion Week craziness! Right before Fashion Week started, I was very honored to be selected as a judge for the fashion and jewelry division of the Scholastic Awards for Arts and Writing. It’s such a great award program because it’s the only national program that showcases children with artistic talent, not just athletic or intellect abilities. Needless to say, I was really blown away by the level of talent and creativity from all the students. It was hard to decide who would move forward, but luckily I had some great help from my fellow two judges—one a head designer at Natori and the other a head at FIT—and I felt extremely confident in our choices! It’s great to see students take an interest in fashion at such a young age. I was really into art in high school, and I did a little sewing on the side, but I really didn’t learn garment construction until college. It would have been so helpful if I’d started a little younger, so I was really impressed at the students’ level of skill. I would recommend taking sewing classes in high school to any student that has any interest in going in fashion.
I also headed down to Philadelphia the week after Fashion Week to do a segment on Good Day Philadelphia and judge a competition for Rowenta at Drexel University. The competition was inspired by a yet-to-be-released iron, and I can’t wait to share all the designs with you as soon as it becomes available! Again, I was really inspired by the student’s talent. The Good Day Philadelphia segment was a lot of fun but also a little stressful. Live television is never “relaxed,” especially when you have a limited amount of time! The whole segment idea was about making small alterations to an old bridesmaid dress you have to make it wearable for future events. Luckily, I got to start out with a cute bridesmaid dress, but you can take these tips and apply them to any formal dress—prom, homecoming, etc.—you own, no matter how horrible! The three main tips that I recommend are adding straps, adding a belt, and shortening the hem. Adding the straps makes the garment a little less dressy and a lot more functional. The belt will break up the dress and hide the waist ruching that is usually very common in those times of dresses. Shortening the hem keeps it younger, and you can also set the length at a height that is flattering to your legs. I would recommend using a Rowenta steam station as a one stop shop because it had a powerful iron for when your are setting the hem but also has the steam capabilities that is needed for the material of the dress.

Amber.Stardoll- We've heard nothing from Heidi Klum ever since her break-up from Seal. But now she opens up in Elle Magazine's April issue about their shocking split: "But as hard as it is, so is life. And sometimes I think a curveball just comes at you. Instead of something straight that you catch, it hits you in the head from the side that you didn't expect.", the supermodel and host of Project Runway says. Heidi and Seal were a couple for seven years. But the two had problems, just like everyone else."To the outside world, you don't really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides," she explains in Elle. "But I don't really want to get into any of that stuff. With my life, my family, my business -- I want to go forward." Seal has been talking endlessly about their split while promoting is new album."He's a grown man. I can't tell him what to do and what not to do,", she says about his behaviour. "It's hard.". We couldn't agree more, it must be so hard for her! (usmagazine)

- Some of our favorite female celebrities have taken the razer and shaved off their long, luxurious locks. Some have done it for a movie role, while others just felt like it. We think the shaved style is really daring and sometimes kinda cool! Click on the pictures to see which female celebs have boldly gone bold.
JadaJane- I'm sure that you've noticed a change within the star-plaza , many of our favorite shops have been revamped . I'm in-love with "It Girls" Formerly known as Stardoll girls, aside from it's catchy name and beautiful girly logo I love the new clothing being added daily to this shop.

After Louis Vuitton’s train extravaganza yesterday, one editor said, “Unless you’re going to stage a fashion show like that, throw a presentation.” Though yes, steamer trains and porters should be required at every fashion show, some don’t need bells and whistles to hold the crowd’s attention. Valentino, for example, sent out a slew of very simple looks so exquisitely made that it was hard not to reach out and touch them. The leather jumpsuit at left is the best example. While nearly every designer has shown leather for fall, few have attempted the leather onesie. In theory, it sounds like a disaster, but at the hands of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Peirpaolo Piccioli it’s as soft and feminine as one of their white lace dresses—with just a shot of rock ‘n roll. The show notes describe it best: “They indulge in tactile artisan craftsmanship while they reduce a line to its pure architectural essence.”

- The only person more excited than us about Miu Miu‘s fall show, held in Paris yesterday at the Conseil de Economique, Social et Environemental, was Kate Mara. It marked the actress’ first Miu Miu show, and the only one she’d attend all week, though it’s a longtime favorite brand. “Every time I go into the store, no matter what the season is, what that particular style is, I always find something that I feel completely comfortable in,” Mara explained. “So I think I just love the fit!”

If, like Mara, you’ve become a fan of Miuccia Prada’s sweet dresses and playful accessories, you might need the next few months to adjust your eye to the pant suits the designer’s offering for fall. Every single look—save the last five—was a suit. They came in brightly colored (always matching) prints, or suede, with high necked blouses and ruffled ties. Chunky loafers and structured bags pulled the already polished looks together, while Bjork’s soundtrack brought a bit of 90s flavor to the 70s-inspired collection (and kept Marc Jacobs’ head bouncing in the front row). Whether stars like Mara, Katy Perry and Mia Wasikowska (both of whom also sat front row) adopt the head-to-toe prints come September may be up in the air, but those last five dresses? We doubt anyone will wait until fall to wear the darling mirrored suede shifts.

- Celebrities like Academy Award winner, Reese Witherspoon, or Grammy winner, Adele, have spent a long time getting to the top. They have earned their respect. When you look at someone like Reese, becoming a celebrity seems like a really hard thing to do! But then there are people like Kim Kardashian and Nicky Hilton- what did they do? Absolutely nothing! Click on the pics and see a couple of stars who have taken the easy route by becoming famous for just being famous.
